And this is only 100 years ago. If you go even further back, the presence would be even more pronounced, especially in the times of the Moors. Modern Morocco is an ancient place physically, but the people are a blend of many different ethnicities. Many Spanish and Europeans of mixed Moorish and European background settled there after 1490. Incursions by other groups of Islamic peoples from Syria and Arabia began to weaken the remnants of the black Moorish dynasties in Morocco, eventually overwhelming them. But even then, the black presence was signifiganct as in the black blood that flowed through the veins of the early Alouite dynasties. Moulay Ismael was the brother of Moulay Rashid, who is often depicted as black. Both supposedly had black mothers. An englishman named John Windus described him as being of middle height but supposedly not having any "negro" features. Description of other English explorers and travellers to North Africa: http://extra.shu.ac.uk/wpw/morocco/Chaouch/Chaouch.htm Here is another gem of black Moroccan history: [QUOTE] “Moulay Bouazza” is an enigma—his genealogy and even the pronunciation of his name are in dispute. According to Vincent Cornell (Realm of the Saint, pp. 68 ff.), Abu Yi'zza was an “illiterate and monolingual Masmuda Berber from the mountainous region of Haskura in the High Atlas." He was also “Shaykh of the Shaykhs of the Magrib” to his fellow Sufis and a miracle worker to the masses across Morocco, to whom he had become famous at the time of his death in an epidemic in 1177, aged over 100 years. His grave is still an important pilgrimage site, and a town is named after it and him.
